Russia, US clash at UN over escalation in Syria fighting
Earlier on Thursday, Pakistan reaffirmed its desire for cooperative relations with all its neighbors, including India.
At her weekly news briefing in Islamabad today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said Pakistan has consistently advocated constructive engagement and result-oriented dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues including the Ammu and Kashmir dispute.
She, however, said the political will to resolve disputes and differences through dialogue seems lacking on India’s part. Zahra Baloch said Pakistan believes in peaceful co-existence, emphasizing it wants peace and stability in the region.
She said Pakistan has been acting in a responsible manner notwithstanding the difficulties in bilateral relations. She said the eastern neighbor should create a conducive environment for the advancement of peace and dialogue, and the resolution of longstanding disputes.
